The Rise of the European Emperor

After solving the related issues of Ayoun, Marin took a boat north. While passing by Spain, Malindi made a stop in the port of Cadiz in southern Spain. Of course, it was carried by a 250-class armed merchant ship, and there was no scary 500-ton class warship to call the port.

Marin went to Toledo to pay a visit to Ferdinand II and Isabella I and thanked them for allowing their soldiers to dock in the Canary Islands. Of course, Marin also requested that the two kings allow themselves to send ships to Las Palmas to purchase materials.

After all, Ayoun is just a nomadic tribe in the desert. Here, only camels, sheep and horses grazed by the Berbers. If you rely on local materials alone, the garrison's life will be very difficult. If you rely on the delivery of materials from East Friesland, there is no insurance. If it is delayed, something may go wrong.

So, Marin simply arranged two ships here, responsible for purchasing materials to Las Palmas to meet the needs of the garrison.

There is no objection to Shuangwang. Anyway, this does not harm their interests. It's just that Ferdinand II's expression "I've seen you through" and hinted at Marin-I came to you want to raise a merino ...

Marimba could not have misunderstood it, so he pretended to be embarrassed and satisfied Ferdinand II's wickedness ...

After, Marin went to visit Prince Juan who had a good relationship with him, and brought a generous gift. Prince Juan warmly entertained Marin and celebrated with Marin.

At the banquet, Prince Juan and Marin told a recent interesting story ...

It turned out that a former Byzantine royal member named Manuel Pariologos came to Spain and claimed that his brother, the Byzantine emperor, Andrés Pariologos, wanted to put The throne and territorial rights of the Eastern Roman Empire were sold to the twin kings of Spain.

But in fact, Andrés Pariologs is just an emperor in exile who lives in exile and lives in Rome.

In other words, Andrés Pariologs, the Eastern Roman emperor recognized by the Western Europeans, actually only has one empty title left, with no real rights and interests. Now, it is even more frustrating. Under desperate circumstances, I wanted to sell the no longer existing throne and land to the wealthy Spanish kings, and wanted to exchange for a pension and live a more comfortable life.

Of course, it is said that the Emperor Andrés Pariolog of the Eastern Romans is now penniless and seriously ill, lying in bed and having no money to cure the disease. Therefore, in desperation, he sent his brother Manuel to Spain to sell his throne.

Prior to this, around 1494, Andrés Pariologus sold his saved crown of the Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire to French King Charles VIII for a large sum of money.

However, the money was deceived by Pope Alexander VI ...

Alexander VI tricked him into saying that he wanted to raise funds to hire an army to help him recover. So, Andrés Pariologs foolishly gave up most of the property ... In fact, the money for selling the crown was hacked by Pope Alexander VI. Therefore, members of the Eastern Roman imperial family were in embarrassment. The last emperor Andrés Pariologos, who had no money to cure the disease, lay in bed and died ...

At this time, Andrés Pariorogs finally saw the greedy nature of Alexander VI. Therefore, instead of seeking help from the greedy pope, he intended to sell his throne and territorial rights to the Spanish kings in exchange for medical expenses and funds to feed the whole family.

It is a pity that the Spanish kings have no sincerity. The Spanish kings are cunning people, and they are the masters who do n’t see rabbits or eagles. How could they be willing to pay for a non-existing throne and territorial rights? If the crown was still there, the two kings might buy it for fun. However, now Andrés Pariologos is so poor that only the title remains, and the rest have nothing.

Therefore, the Spanish kings are not very willing to take care of Andrés Pariologos' younger brother Manuel ...

Listen, Marin's eyes light up ...

Of course, it does not mean that Marin is willing to buy the throne of the Eastern Roman Empire. Even if he had the money to buy it, he was not destined to enjoy the throne. After all, the throne is too sensitive. If I dare to claim to be an emperor, it is estimated that I will be beaten by the German princes to form a group, and by the way, I will grab the throne ...

Do n’t talk about those princes, that is, Maximilian I, who has always supported himself, is expected to turn his face-special, you are also emperor? Want to sit down with me?

Therefore, Marin can't buy the throne by himself. However, the memory that Marin retrieved from the depths of memory shows that-after the death of Andrés Pariologos, his brother-in-law, Grand Duke Ivan III of Moscow, announced that his son Vasily had the royal Roman par The lineage of the Riologos family will inherit the throne of the Eastern Roman Empire. It was from then on that the Grand Duke of Moscow changed his name to the Tsar. Even, in 1514, Vasily III and Maximilian I wrote to each other, acknowledging the identity of the other emperor. Vasily III was the Emperor of Eastern Rome, while Maximilian I was the Emperor of Western Rome ...

Maximilian I did not care whether the Western Roman Emperor Marin, but Marin refused to let Mao Zi become the Eastern Roman Emperor ...

You must know that it is precisely because of this status that the Grand Duchy of Moscow was stimulated and strived to become the hegemon of Eastern Europe. Without this distinction, they are just a Grand Duchy, no different from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. In ancient times, reputation was also very important.

Marin decided to intervene in this matter. He knew that in the history of history, the transaction between Andrés Pariologos and the Spanish Kings failed, and he did not get a penny. So, in the end, Andres Pariologos died of illness in poverty.

Marin decided to support him with a sum of money. Then, persuade Andres Pariorogos to sell the throne to Maximilian I.

If Andrés Pariologos sold the throne to Maximilian I, then Maximilian I assembled the throne of East and West Rome and became a true European emperor.

Of course, Maximilian I has not actually been crowned in Rome. Therefore, from a legal point of view, he is not an emperor ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ is just a king of Germany.

Marin felt that if he was given a throne, the emperor would be happy. Moreover, once Andrés Pariologos sold the Eastern Roman throne to Maximilian I, then, when the Eastern and Western Roman Empires achieved the legal unification, Maximilian I would also become real value The only emperor in Europe.

Of course, this is only legal. In practical terms, there is no use of eggs. Maximilian I can't be legal anymore, and he can't change the fact that he only has two sites in Austria and Burgundy ...

Moreover, this will also draw hatred to Maximilian I. Whose hatred is it? Of course it is the hatred of Ottoman Turkey ...

After occupying Constantinople, the Sultan of Ottoman Turkey claimed to be the Emperor of Eastern Rome. You Maximilian I also claimed to be the Emperor of Eastern Rome, did he pull the hatred of the Ottoman Sultan straight?

Therefore, if Maximilian I accepted the throne, he would also be hostile to Ottoman Turkey. In the future, if he wants to unify Germany, he will inevitably be interfered by Ottoman Turkey ...

However, the desire for the throne is the obsession of Maximilian I. The Habsburgs have never been afraid to attract hatred, only that they are not enough to ridicule or ridicule ...

Therefore, Marin recommends Andrés Pariologs to sell the throne to Maximilian I, which will be a win-win situation. Sure, the poor Andrés Pariologos will be rewarded by Maximilian I for a fief. Maximilian I was a talented king, and he was not as cautious as the Spanish kings.

So, after leaving Prince Juan ’s residence, Marin secretly visited Manuel Pariorogos at night ...
